Henry Rollins Shock and Awe (2005)

Henry Rollins has more than ever to rant about in this performance from his recent Shock amp Awe Tour its title irreverently inspired by George Bushs early predictions of the Iraqi Wars impact With all the ferocious energy of his days as a front man for the punk group Black Flag Rollins scathingly draws observations from his recent USO tours in Afghanistan and Iraq He also tears across the American political and cultural landscape and ventures into more personal territory talking about his eclectic career from music to books to TV and film sharing his fascinating insights from traveling the world and revealing his hilariously unsuccessful search for love Filmed at the Paramount Theater in Seattle on his spoken word tour
